2020 Blessings

Wow.... I can't believe it has almost been a whole year since the world turned upside down! We were smack dab in the middle of our busy season, Little league baseball season, when everything started.......We went to several opening day events one weekend and the next the world shutdown. I have to admit we wondered what would happen to our business? A huge part of our business is youth sports apparel and custom vinyl sports banners and now there wasn't going to be a season.....
Those first few weeks were scary and dark. We did a lot of praying but in the end we had to lay off our employees.... which broke our hearts. But there was just no way we could keep them without any business. Next we reached out to the Small Business Administration and we were fortunate to be able to get the first round of PPP. Then we were able to bring back an employee... which was awesome.... but we still didn't have much work to do. However, we used the employee to update our website and take care of things that we never had the time to do because we were so busy. We ended up completely overhauling the website and it turned out really great! We couldn't have done that if we had been super busy. We also began selling custom face coverings, Covid -19 Signage, and Graduation Garden Flags and t-shirts for the poor 2020 graduating seniors, which included our own daughter.
The PPP money soon ran out and we had to say goodbye to our employee.... again sadly. Our second busiest season is Fall soccer season when we customize and sell hundreds of vinyl sports banners, but of course there was no soccer season in 2020. But when God shuts a door .... he often opens a window!
That "window" that He opened was the concept of "Customer Stores". Many schools and organizations want to continue to raise funds and provide spirit wear to their members but Covid restrictions have really made that difficult. Our Customer Stores have eliminated the hassle from fundraising and selling custom apparel. First, we work with you and your organization to create an awesome design. Then we work with you to find just the right apparel items and / or swag to put your logo on (including water bottles and custom face coverings). Next, we set up a custom store on our website, provide a digital flyer for your members, and take orders for your organization. We collect all the orders and the money for you. Finally, after a mutually agreed upon ordering period (usually 2 or 3 weeks) we fulfill your orders and send you a check for the profit that you made off of the items.*. So easy and so much safer than collecting order forms and money from all of your members.
2020 was definitely a difficult year for us and I am sure for many of you, as well. But one thing we did get this year was time...... time to spend with our family and time to work on the business and make improvements to our website and customer experience. But most of all 2020 reminded us that God is in control! You can trust in him to provide for your needs. We pray that 2021 is a year filled with health, happiness and blessings for you and yours! We appreciate your business very much!
